Although The Honeymooners is regarded as one of the most cherished classic sitcoms on television, behind its humor and enduring appeal comes a moment so contentious that it rocked viewers—and played a part in the show’s early death. Long discussed in TV history, the notorious incident is still a topic of conversation decades later.
